Can I buy in Peru and tour SA?

Someones got to know if it's doable. I've heard that non-nationals can buy vehicles in Peru but getting across borders is an other thing. Anyone know about this?

I suspect you would have better luck in Chile or Argentina. Peru's government is a bit of a mess.

Ofcourse things can change, I am talking of my experience back in 1993. Bought a car in Lima. It took 6 months to get the documents in my name... When I got to the (peruvian side of the) border with Bolivia it turned out a Carnet de Passage was needed. The peruvian customs did not let me leave as they wanted a guarantee that the peruvian car would return as otherwise I would have to pay exportduties! I got the CdeP at the Touring Club in Lima (deposit US$4000). Ofcourse the CdP was only needed for leaving Peru, for no other country.
So before buying you better get informed at the Touring Club first. (that had told me before that I would need one but as I could not believe one needed a Carnet for léaving the country I set off without)

(this could have been found through the search engine)

those guys import trail bikes from the US to sell for local customers, so they are aware of the process and might be interested in your bike. The owner is not german but brazilian. They also can do anything you can dream about on your bike with a team of very qualified mechanics.

They might be closed for the holidays period. Anyways, if you stay around the center of Asuncion with your motorcycle, it will be easy to hire a "guide" that will look for contacts for you for a ridiculous fee. Ask the street money changers in the main streets for a contact.

There is also a huge official Yamaha dealership at the north entrance of Asuncion. Ask your hotel reception for the address.

If you come from Argentina and go thru the main road entrance to Paraguay north of Formosa (not the ferry entrance), no entrance paper will be delivered.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
